20 Reasons My Kids Fight

It’s five years later and this is still true to this day, but their list of reasons have gotten much longer.

I started this post a while ago (even before “Why is my kid crying”) and whenever I get ready to actually sit and write/post it; my kids inspire me to add to this ever growing list of reasons why they are fighting. Then when I’m ready, there’s a fight or a problem and I just can’t get to it. I’m sure there are hundreds, possibly thousands more, but here is a glimpse into their reasoning.

Haha awesome! I remember those days with my brother. We're expecting our FIRST, so it'll be yeears before I get to "enjoy" these things. I think writing about it makes it a little funnier (what I mean is, you can at least look back and appreciate that it's just darn ridiculous). 🙂

Kids, one minute they are fighting and the other helping each other out and playing nice. Blink and it changes. Once our kid said the other was breathing his air.candy recently posted…Amish White Bread

It is always so distressing when my kids fight and they are so mean to each other at that moment. I always have the hope that they are becoming closer by interracting hopefully in peaceful ways most of the time.Melissa Chapman recently posted…Tips to Kissable Lips #CleanTUNG

When we were younger my sister and I used to fight over the silliest things (although we still fight over silly thing now that we’ve in our 20s). One of our biggest arguments was when one of us didn’t wait for the other to watch our favorite TV show. We HAD to watch it together.

I can definitely relate to this post. My kids tend to fight over the pettiest issues, like if one of them breathes too loudly or stares at a sibling for too long.Marcie W. recently posted…Las Vegas – Get Ready For The Color Run

Lol… kids seem to find just about anything to fight about. I love your 20 things they fight about and I am sure you are already able to add more to them. When my husband did daycare in our home for 12 years we had 2 sisters that were in elementary school and had them since they were babies. They kept fighting so one day I made them sit in the same chair and hold hands. It worked for a little bit til one was squeezing “too hard” etc. Sometimes I miss those days, then my granddaughter is here and at 7 everything is so “annoying”. Good times. As long as you can laugh at some point. Great post.

Oh yes! The joy of motherhood… the joy of childhood…
We survive as mothers and most importantly, our fighting siblings grow into loving adults that cherish the friendships they have with their siblings.Cathi Crismon recently posted…Giveaway Linky

Ugh, this is so true! We have to laugh at it because our sanity depends on us seeing the humor in these kid fights. My kids have had a fight over one child looking out “their window” in the car. Also breathing, one should just stop doing that. Apparently you can breathe wrong. :/Emily recently posted…Valentines day dinner for two easy tablescape and craft idea

That video! Totally my brother and I when we were kids! I don’t have any children yet, but man, your list could have been written by my mom about my brother and I. EVERYTHING made us fight. BUT now we are the best of friends!!

My sons were born 20 months apart so their clothes are mostly the same size when they were around 5 years old. The reason they fight? It is because someone wore someone else’s shirt. That is the most common reason – fighting over clothes.

I help out at lunchtime at a Belgian school nearby and there always seems to be drama on the playground. Kids gossip and make fun of each other unnecessarily! It doesn’t help that my Dutch isn’t that great and I find it hard to resolve conflicts haha.

I have noticed that siblings fight even when there is no reason. In some cases I think it’s par for the course considering the close quarters and amount of time they spend in each other’s company.valmg @ Mom Knows It All recently posted…10 Best Commercials From The Big Game Of 2018

This is like my kids’ day to day routine. They always fight over any thing. They start and end their days with a fight. It’s like never ending. Can you sense my frustration?! But, I know sooner or later they will get tired of it and will be civil to one another . Lol!

Yeah, I have all girls, so many arguments from clothes to combs. They recently had an argument about hairstyles: “I had that hairstyle yesterday! You are a copycat” “No you’re a copy cat!” “No you are the copy cat” “Meany!” “Crybaby.” Your list is so hilarious. But they do eventually reconcile and play together in peace. Thanks for sharing.
